To each his/her own but why do you all like the rear facing seats??? And I dont mean rear facing in general as there are some cool aspects to it with when you sleep, looking at the wing & should their be an accident, etc etc, I get all that.

But on this plane with this set up............

I cant move my arms they feel jammed in on both sides w tables on both sides. And the 2 tables are too high to use as an arm rest.

Why do I want to look into the aisle like an old school herringbone seat which suck !! The Zodiacs are narrow Imo to begin with but the rear ones feel more narrow.

Also, the alternating rear/forward mean you are looking at someone or being looked at, again a Zodiac issue but still I'd rather be forward facing looking into the window and not staring at someone who is forward facing 1 row behind me (technically in front of me but behind me as far as rows go) I'd rather someone maybe be catching a glance of me then having to have whatever someone is doing be in my line of vision

Lastly, assuming we all agree to avoid rocking that means I have to sit by a Lav & galley Or galley to be rear facing and not rocking.

Maybe I'm missing something but I dont get the appeal of rear facing on this plane. And rear or forward the seats just blow. Whoever designed this seat should never be allowed to ever design a seat again lol
